This Caterpillar 627K is a used motor scraper — sometimes referred to as a pan scraper or elevating scraper — a self-propelled earthmoving machine designed to cut, load, haul, and spread soil in a single pass, making it a core piece of equipment for large-scale grading, road building, and land-levelling operations. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving machinery, serving industries ranging from infrastructure and mining to agriculture and energy.
Built in 2020 and listed in Colorado, USA, this machine is offered as a Cat Certified Used unit, indicating it has passed Caterpillar's own certification inspection process. It carries an equipment certification code of NCR and a standard certification designation, providing buyers with a documented baseline of machine condition.
The scraper is configured in a push-pull arrangement, a common tandem setup in which two scrapers work together to assist each other during loading, improving productivity without requiring a separate push tractor. Power comes from a dual-engine configuration: a Cat C13 producing 407 horsepower and a Cat C9.3 producing 209 horsepower, both certified to US EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The C13 carries serial prefix SC and the C9.3 its own serial designation accordingly. A cold start attachment and a 120-volt engine block heater are fitted, supporting reliable operation in the colder conditions common to the Colorado region.
The transmission is an 8-forward, 1-reverse powershift unit, and the drivetrain includes a torque converter, torque divider, and a retarder for controlled deceleration on grade. An electronically controlled pressure control system (ECPC) and APECS (Automatic Power Electronic Control System) manage transmission shifts for smoothness and efficiency. A differential lock is also included.
This machine is equipped with Cat Grade Control with lift layer depth assist, a factory-integrated grade management system that helps the operator maintain accurate cut and fill depths. Sequence Assist with CPM (Cuts Per Minute) further automates the loading sequence to optimise cycle efficiency. A fast-fill fuel system is fitted to reduce servicing downtime.
The enclosed cab is built to ROPS standards and features air conditioning, heating, and defrost, along with sliding windows and tilt steering. Operator visibility is supported by standard halogen work lights and a rear-view camera system. Cab amenities include a suspension cloth seat, a messenger display, radio-ready infrastructure, two 12-volt accessory ports, and washer and wiper systems front and rear. The machine is equipped with 1,000 CCA batteries and a 65-amp charging system. Additional features include T-handle controls, fenders, an ether aid for cold starting, a tow pin, and an RV mirror. Ground-level serviceability is aided by a non-powered access group and crankcase guard. Tyres are sized 33.25R29 Bridgestone VLT, E2A rating, suited to the haul road and earthwork conditions typical of scraper operations. An online owner's manual is included with the listing. This machine is priced at $910,000.
